I can't speak for the second, but for the first...I'm working on a story that's also eventually going to be OC/CC (canon character), and one of the ways I'm trying to keep the OC from developing Sue traits is by not having the relationship happen immediately. Develop your OC for a while before even hinting at romantic feelings between the two. The whole "CC falls in love with OC immediately" is a pretty big Sue tell.

Then, once the relationship actually happens, try not to let their romance be the be-all and end-all of the story, and try to keep the canon character in-character. Are they generally kind of grumpy? Then keep them grumpy, but maybe have them soften a little bit when they're in private with their loved one. Are they a risk taker? Have them still take risks, but either they're a little more cautious for the sake of not hurting the OC physically or emotionally, or have that be a plot point where that behavior leads to an argument.

Now granted, I have no guarantee that I'm going to succeed at following my own rules, but that's the best advice I can give.

Thank you anon! Best of luck sith tbe OC/CC. Easing into relationships isn't easy...
